Now this is just plain stupid:

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 9:23am

nope. he's right.

4/9/20 9:25am

Or, we could all just wash our hands like we're supposed to. If we have clean..

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:26am

Exactly. Agree that it's ridiculous.

UNLVcougar

4/9/20 10:28am

Sure we all could, but I have seen way to many people not washing hands before

4/9/20 10:34am

Great. So shake hands and then later on use your hand sanitizer. Or how about..

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:37am

"If you refuse to shake hands, then you're certainly going to be against...."

bluesloth

4/9/20 10:44am

Don't be stupid. I never said this means no contact sports, etc. You're not...

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:55am

Title of my post is a quote from you. You then listed things like wiping tears

bluesloth

Over sterilization of our environment is bad

Shaking hands is just plain stupid

WhirleyPop

4/9/20 9:25am

I urge you to not give in to laziness and foolishness.

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:38am

I'd be totally fine with that

LaserCoug

4/9/20 9:25am

Fine by me. I'm a hugger.

svenot

4/9/20 9:25am

Svenot?

4/9/20 9:33am

Won't shake hands but says therer's no risk in hugging: face palm. (or is......

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:45am

Not really stupid. We have other ways to greet and welcome without touching.

DJROSS

4/9/20 9:25am

Really? Like what? What form of "physical" interaction is there to greet......

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:42am

sounds good to me

BlueFrog

Im done forever. Its a terrible custom that needs to go away.

Yet people will still have hookup sex

Is that an offer?

Straw man

PharmCoug

4/9/20 9:28am

In what way? It's human touching with people we dont live with.

ABCoug

4/9/20 9:31am

So nobody should have sex again? That’s sounds good for the human race.

Superman21

4/9/20 9:35am

Yes society should prefer fathers. Not sure I suggested no sex.

ABCoug

4/9/20 9:48am

Sex does not equal handshakes.

PharmCoug

4/9/20 9:35am

So why is it a strawman then?

ABCoug

4/9/20 10:04am

If you interviewed for a job and the interviewers reached out their hand for a

Tell that to Harvey Weinstien....

ABCoug

4/9/20 9:42am

Uhh, he's in jail, that kind of proves the point

califcougar

4/9/20 9:43am

Exactly! Thank you.

ABCoug

4/9/20 9:49am

For the vast majority, the number of people they have sex with is vastly lower

chilango

4/9/20 9:41am

And yet your risk of health issues with sex with a stranger is exponentially

4/9/20 10:35am

If handshake was nearly as fun as sex it wouldn't die either, well maybe in

4/9/20 9:53am

I've been wanting the tradition to die and it had nothing to do with disease.

bluesloth

4/9/20 9:27am

That is a lot of e's.

TerribleOpinionsGuy

4/9/20 9:27am

Why? What is wrong with a handshake?

Cougar TD

4/9/20 9:51am

This video shows some of the reasons.

bluesloth

4/9/20 12:14pm

Then what's your motivation if it is "not" due to disease/illness?

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:45am

Just think about what people touch with their hands all day, every day. I'm

Just watch people at church. They wipe snot off their kids face, and then go out

bluesloth

4/9/20 9:31am

But how are those without kids supposed to build up their immune system

4/9/20 9:59am

The fecal transmission alone should make anyone think twice about shaking hands

Iman23

4/9/20 9:28am

I thought we were just trying to keep the curve below the line? Until we could

ABCoug

4/9/20 9:28am

Fine idea if voluntary. Terrible if done by force of law.

CocaColaRecovery

Please let handshaking die... please.... if you want a compromise then I'll yield at a fist-bump.

The shin-kick needs to become more mainstream.

squidmark

Bowing.

scootsy

4/9/20 9:33am

a short bow is superior. for most in the US it seems weird, but knowing what we know now, bowing is superior.

HarlemCoug

This problem is easily solved....

Lots of great options in that article.

I would be ok with this, there are way too many people that I see that did not

4/9/20 9:38am

Then how will we display our dominance when we meet someone?

Goliath

4/9/20 9:43am

Well, if you do the "thumbs up," you could have a thumb war to show dominance

Let's just give a thumbs up when we meet people

We should consider a change in how the sacrament is passed too. I’ve skipped a couple times when a kid with green snot

For germaphobe I love this - we always sit where the deacons go first.

I think there's good reason to make physical contact with other people.

I second what UNLV Couygar said about your post: It was clear & powerful.
